where did you get the serial key?
Oh Dave, we all know where he got the serial key from.
He can’t even follow pirated instructions properly.
Sheesh, infinity!
You can’t put a serial number into the trial version. You need to PURCHASE the full version.

Actually, I did buy a copy myself, but split the cost with a friend of mine, so we could share it. He installed it on his computer, then gave me the key. I didn’t think I needed the software (I’m not really sure where it is at this point) because I already had it installed, or at least I thought.
Thank you for your help (and criticism),

That’s ILLEGAL. Get your own copy.
Bob
Cory,
What you and your friend are attempting is in violation of the user license agreement (EULA) which permits a single user to install PS on up to two computers, typically a desktop and laptop PC. The license is not a multi-user license, and therefore what you want to do would be regarded as illegal. If either of you were to pursue installation of PSCS on a 2nd computer of your own, then that would be 3 systems total, and one of those would find you with activation being denied and thus PSCS would be inoperative. If you both only have 1 computer and were to each install and activate PSCS, that would work but again would be illegal and in violation of the EULA.
What you should do is return the installation CD to your friend and have him pay back your half of the cost. That way, he is the legal owner who can subsequently install PSCS on a 2nd PC of his own, should the need arise. Then, you can buy your own upgrade copy to use in similar fashion. Of course, to install an upgrade you will also have to own a prior version and if you don’t have the CD for it to use as the authentication media, then you’re out of luck unless you registered your purchase with Adobe who could help in that event.
Regards,
Daryl
Interesting. Sometime after he posted the original message, where he states he downloaded the software, he now bought a copy with a friend.
Don, there’s always so much that can be read into what one does or doesn’t say…and often correctly so. Maybe what he meant was that he or his friend purchased the downloable version of the PSCS retail product on which they shared the cost. As you and I know, even if that is true, any intent to share the software remains illegal.
Ok, I think I understand that it is illegal now, so I won’t be attempting it.
Don – If you look closely enough you’ll see that I said I dl’d the TRIAL version, not the full software.
Thank you all for your help.
Cory P.
